NAMErpc.yppasswdd -- NIS update password file daemon
SYNOPSISrpc.yppasswdd [-ddirectory] [-noshell] [-nogecos] [-nopw]
[-marg1 [arg2 ...]]
DESCRIPTIONrpc.yppasswdd must be running on the NIS master server to allow users to
change information in the password file.
The options are as follows:
-ddirectory Change the root directory of the password file from
``/'' to directory. It is important to create the
binary database files (pwd.db and spwd.db) when
using this switch or the password change will fail.
The databases need to be created only once with the
following command:
pwd_mkdb -d directory
directory/etc/master.passwd
-noshell Don't allow changes of the shell field in the
passwd file.
-nogecos Don't allow changes of the gecos field in the
passwd file.
-nopw Don't allow changes of the password in the passwd
file.
-marg1 [arg2 ...]
Additional arguments to pass to make in /var/yp.
